Rajai Davis aggravates groin injury Friday

Davis went 1 for 2 in the game but was pulled for a pinch runner after the hit, as his single would have likely been a doube if he were healthy. He did say after the game that he'd try to play in Game 3 Sunday and that he has felt better each day as he continues to recover from the injury, the Detroit Free-Press reports.

2014 summary:Rajai Davis signed with the Tigers as a free agent before the 2014 season, and he took on a larger role with his new club than he had with the Blue Jays. Initially penciled in as the team's starting left fielder, Davis lost some playing time with the emergence of J.D. Martinez, but the July trade of Austin Jackson to the Mariners created an opportunity for him to play regularly in center field. Though Davis racked up his highest total of plate appearances in four seasons, he did less of what he does best -- steal bases -- than he had in awhile. Davis attempted 47 steals but only succeeded 36 times, while batting .282 and scoring 64 runs.

Playing time status: The acquisition of Anthony Gose could push Davis back to left field, but at either position, he should be primed to receive regular playing time.

2015 outlook: Even with steady at-bats, Davis wouldn't offer enough beyond steals to be worth targeting in standard mixed points leagues. Though he likely won't get the benefit of regular playing time, Davis is still a viable late-rounder in 12-team mixed Rotisserie leagues.
